Title: Something wrong with SquadronCommand.com?
Post by: docspur on October 22, 2008, 04:08:10 AM
Hi. I wonder if anyone knows what's up with the squadroncommand.com website?  I've been trying to access it for over a week now and I keep getting SQL errors whenever I try to log on or d/l anything.  I've tried contacting them but no answer.  I'm needing SIMS for my new laptop.  Thanks for 411 or if you have the latest (or close to it) version that you can send me.

V/r,

What part?  I can go to squadroncommand.com...but whenever I try to log in or download or even send a message I get an SQL error.

Maybe it's just me.

I just tried to register for an account and got the same SQL error.  No, its not just you.

SIMS is the best way to manage a Squadron, and unless you're good with Access, the only way to actually utilize most of the CAPWatch Database.

It rocks.

Yes it does...and I really want it back...my other 'puter died and my SIMS with it.  Now I have a new 'puter, but no SIMS.  ARGH!  I've got data backups so I won't be inputting all the data again...just need SIMS so I can put that back in the new 'puter.

Working to get SquadronCommand fixed. I'm dealing with a massive DB error here at work ATM, so SquadronCommand's issues are, hehe, a little less pressing :)

Can someone give me a download link for SIMS? I have access and would like to use it...  I get a SQL error on the site.

It'll be fixed this weekend guys, promise.

Might have to get rid of the rest of the site, however.  While I don't want to kill the support forums, its going to be a royal pain in the keyster to port them over, so I'll hold on to that for a bit...

That CMS/portal software never did live up to its hype.... :(

BTW, the database error is fixed for now.   The wiki no longer works.   It was the 3:30am fix.

I downloaded and started playing with SIMS.

I have to say I am quite impressed.  The user friendliness and in particular the error handling shows a LOT of thought went into this!  i beleive this is going to be a great asset to our new squadron. 

KUDOS!

I only had to debug one issue with the WMF request, as I moved everything but jpgs out of the graphics directory.  No big deal to correct in debugger.
